Government says it’ll cancel fee for calling firefighters
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan reiterates he’s been promoting new regulations so that citizens who called in firefighters in recent days will be exempt from paying the usual fee.
“The State of Israel is facing the complicated challenge of fires and arson throughout the country,” he says in a statement. “Already with the coming [annual state] budget I worked to secure a budget to cancel the firefighting fee.
“We must make things as easy as possible for people whose houses are burning down, and not mount more difficulty by requiring them to pay for ordering firefighting services.”
